Thanks James for sharing. F.A.M.I.L.Y (Family for the Advancement of Matriculation In Learning Youth) James Sturdivant James Sturdivant, Associate Project Accountant in Silver Spring, is a founding member of F.A.M.I.L.Y (Family for the Advancement of Matriculation in Learning Youth). The foundation is an organization whose primary purpose is to provide financial and educational assistance to those in need. Originally named the BDSNM Foundation (Bidgood, Dargan, Sturdivant, Nance and McClain), the foundation began to form when descendants of Olivier and Emmaline Sturdivant (who were brought to this country as slaves in the late 1700’s) wanted to come together and find a way to give back to the community. In May 2007, the BDSNM Family Foundation was signed into existence, and James Sturdivant has been on the board of directors since. We interviewed James about his involvement with F.A.M.I.L.Y:
Why the F.A.M.I.L.Y. Foundation?
As a founding member of the board of Directors, I participated in its creation and design.
